Hi Pawel,
I have attached a patch of unity-china-music-scope with new APIs at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-china-music-scope/+bug/1131569.
Would you like to sponsor us to upload it?
Regards,
Jonas

Weihua, all,
As you might or might now know, the API changes we planned for
13.04 didn't land on time. We're currently working on finishing
the transition to the new API and finishing/polishing some areas
(in particular the new Home Scope); there is a Feature Freeze
Exception bug filed to get the new stack landed if FFE is
approved. In other words, you should port your scope to the new
API and have a branch ready for merging when all the base
infrastructure we're working on lands, otherwise your scope won't
work in 13.04.
The latest API is available in libunity-7.0 branch of libunity,
there is a number of scopes ported to it already, plus Unity Dash
branch. There are two options for you when porting:
- base your scope on DeprecatedScope* class, which requires only
minimal changes to your code;
- inherit your scope on AbstractScope; this requires more changes
as you need to implement a number of abstract methods; this is
the recommended way.
Both options impose no real changes to "business logic" of
scopes. If you choose option #1, you should be able to migrate
your code in a matter of few hours tops.
Here is the FFe bug I mentioned:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1154229
There you'll find all relevant branches, information about ppa
etc. Take a look at any of the scopes linked there (for default
Ubuntu scopes such as applications, files etc. you need to be
looking at -libunity7-compatible branches). 100 scopes such as
"wikipedia" and other listed there are using the AbstractScope
approach, while our default scopes use DeprecatedScope API.
Kind Regards,
Pawel

Dear Pawel,
As you wrote in last email:
Until all these changes land in Ubuntu 13.04 repositories
(which should happen in ~2-3 weeks), the only way to test a
scope against new API is:
- install latest Dee from trunk and libunity-7 branch (don't
install system-wide as this would break your current Unity
environment; install them in a dedicated subdirectory).
- compile your scope against libunity-7 and run it manually
from a terminal.
- test search queries with 'tool/libunity-tool -g' from
libunity-7 branch.
We begin to port unity-china-music-scope to new API. Before I
start my work I have some questions:
1. how to install latest Dee and libunity-7 branch in a
dedicated subdirectory? Do you mean old version and new version
can exist together?
2. how to test search queries with 'tool/libunity-tool -g' from
libunity-7 branch?
Cheers,
Weihua
